When does it start? I used to watch this all the time and now want to get back into it.

Has it already started?

thanks

Well Shumi's on pole again, but well done to Sato for parking it right beside him.

If Senna had not crashed fatally at Imola in 1994, He would have challenged Schumacher right to the wre for his first two championships, the second of which he shouldn't have won anyway, deliberately making Hill retire when he could no longer race due to damaged suspension. Schumacher is a damn good driver, but if Ferrari didn't kiss his butt the way they do, I think Barrichello would have run him closer at times, although Schumacher would still win.

A great driving battle between two greats stopped by the elder's death- such a shame that the two never really raced compeitively.

There's no doubt that Shumi will be taking top step for a long time yet, but that doesn't put me off watching Formula 1. I mean it does become tiresom at times when he always wins, but on the other hand it's good to be able to witness a brilliant driver like him. He's certainly no Fangio or Senna, but he's still one of the best drivers the sport has ever seen.

Plus, I like watching all the younger drivers like Button, Raikkonen, Webber etc, as they work their way up the ladder. I mean I've been following Jenson since his first race and it's good to see his hard work finally paying off. So in the future when Shumi does retire, it's going to be nice to see these drivers winning races, or even Championships.

It was a great race with a new winner but MS will be takeing top step several times this season no doubt.

The biggest problem with Brands Hatch is its size. The entire circuit + facilities apparantly fits in Silverstones infield.

Silverstone is good, but Brands Hatch is far better. It's a very fast track with lots of overtaking opportunities, and a couple of banked corners. The only problem is that it's a bit too fast and unsafe for F1. But inserting a hairpin at the end of the longest straight and tightening a couple of corners would make it safe enough.

They keep saying that they are going to replace Silverstone but they never actually do anything. I like Silverstone and they showed last year that overtaking is possible.

Silverstone is legendary.

I can see me getting involved into racing...

Silverstone. 11th July.
